He previously held lectureship/teaching positions at the Queen Mary University of London, University of East London, University of Suffolk and again, University of Essex. At the above universities, Jacob was among others, responsible for either the design, preparation, assessment and/or the delivery of courses linked to Management Accounting, Financial Accounting, Performance Management Accounting, Corporate Financial Management, Issues in Management Accounting and Financial Decision Making. His academic work is augmented with non-academic work experiences linked to companies such as the British Petroleum, TNS Field Ltd and the Range Superstores.
